Page 5 and 332, "chesnut" changed to "chestnut". (Wide spreading oaks
and tall beeches, with the graceful birch and chestnut trees bending
their lower branches nearly to the green turf beneath,...)
Page 8, "of" changed to "or". (Though a little under the middle height,
there was a gentle dignity in his manner that could scarcely fail to be
noticed, or if not noticed, it was sure to be felt.)
Page 10 and 206, "recal" changed to "recall". (... we sigh to think that
childhood is gone--but no sigh will recall it.)
Page 22, "comtemplating" changed to "contemplating". (By the fire was
seated a strong hale young man, with his hands upon his knees,
contemplating it with gloomy fixedness.)
Page 23, "morniny" changed to "morning". ('_cursed is he that keepeth a
man's wages all night by him until the morning_,')
Page 23, "no" changed to "not". ("It is very hard, I allow, Martin,"
said Mr. Ware, "but the wrong done you does not excuse your sitting here
idle; have you been trying for work?")
